Thanks. The rims are kinda exotic but I got them at a great price-they are VS Work wheels 18x8 up front and 18x10 out back.
Tires are MT SR radials 26x10 up front and 28x12 out back.
I was able to go pretty wide out back because I have a solid rear so I was able to clearance the frame a bit more than the OP.

You have a great looking vette njmax. I can only dream my restomod can look like that someday. Great taste of rims and exhaust.

Very nice looking. I have 17s on front and 18s on the rear. After seeing this looks like I am off to get 18s for the front! Great looking car.

Awesome. Haven't seen many pictures of it on the vette. It's what I'm getting for my mini blower/rest-mod build. Also have 28" tires, so thanks for that visual too!
